French President Emmanuel Macron urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to work towards a durable ceasefire in a phone call. France also announced plans to collaborate with Jordan on humanitarian operations in Gaza. The conflict has persisted for over two months, with the Israeli campaign causing over 21,000 casualties, mostly women and children. Recent developments include Israeli bombardment in Gaza, a deadly hospital strike, an Israeli attack on a UN aid convoy, upcoming Hamas delegation talks in Cairo regarding an Egyptian ceasefire plan, and Israel’s preliminary approval for a maritime humanitarian corridor to ship aid to Gaza.
